Zombieland Saga Episode 5: Undead Cuckoolympics

Last episode we were promised undead chickens. Let’s see if they kept their promise.

Still hoping Saki beating up Kotaro becomes a weekly thing, though it makes me wonder if he’s also a monster. That or the blow to the knee was a joke. We’ll see.

Meeting 5 was underway and the usual stuff happened until Kotaro brought up his next crazy scheme.

Drive-in Tori.

Seems to be Saga’s famous chicken joint.

Saki and her old gang’s place to dine was Drive-in Tori.

 

That’s what I gathered from how hyped Saki got. I’m beginning to think that this show in its own twisted way is similar to Locodol with it secretly being a commercial for the Saga prefecture. Then again I should have known that from the start.

 

This face is best for business.

Along with Best Zombie doing her thing.

The Zombie Girls’ new gig. Chicken mascots.

Best Zombie trying to eat the chicken man. I know he’s a rooster but chicken man is more fun to say.

Good to have you back Best Zombie. Your madness was sorely missed. That wasn’t the end of our “sleeping” heroine’s magnificence though.

Getting Best Zombie to finally say her line correctly was a big highlight, especially the Assistant Director. Seriously that guy’s funnier than Kotaro all series so far.

Speaking of the lunatic manager he thought their successful take wasn’t good enough because they didn’t channel their inner chicken. He even summoned an imaginary cockatrice, because he’s crazy. Most of the gang were like “Whaaaa…?” whereas Saki was like “the cuckoo’s right”. Anyway, #NiceBird.

Guess this episode was a double header as we’re already on Meeting #6.

Ai about to smack Kotaro.

I was laughing my butt off while asking “Why?” Why is this happening? Then I calmed down and continued relishing the madness. Also more Kotaro abuse please. I don’t care if he’s a blob, clay creature or whatever. Keep smacking him around. Anyhoo the only difference between meetings 5 and 6 was the gig. Otherwise it’s the same good stuff. Even the writers were like “Let’s speed this up”.

Ladies and the gentlemen. Mauron’s role model. Truly a man to look up to.

Unfortunately things didn’t go any better for our decayed heroines. The girls washed off the mud. However…

Decayed huddle.

After getting muddied up again and a cliche “The one who should suffer, doesn’t” gag our undead cuties prepared for the second event, swinging.

Favorite attempts were Ai’s,

See Miley Cyrus? See Hulk Hogan? That’s how you ride a wrecking ball.

And Sakura’s. To the surprise of no one it was up to the greatest legend to save the day. Sort of.

The last couple of minutes of episode 4 and this entire episode showed yet again the show is at it’s best when it doesn’t give a damn. Next time, however, looks like we’ll be getting another episode 3. We’ll see how it goes.

Oh and it’s also worth mentioning that reporters recognized some of the girls so their secret may be in jeopardy sooner or later.
